    In April, the Postal Service pays tribute to six-time world-champion Boxing legend Sugar Ray Robinson on a stamp. Resembling a vintage fight poster from the 1940s and '50s, the "Sugar Ray Robinson" stamp design features block lettering and a halftone image of Robinson created from a photographic portrait made during his peak fighting years. He reigned as the undefeated world welterweight five times.

                  It's been raised already. You must not have mailed anything over the past two weeks.

                  I'm definitely getting those stamps.
